We have purchased the entire stock of this new and distinct Potatoe from Mr. Bennett, the Raiser. It possesses 
qualities that must make it a public favourite whether for exhibition or for the table. It is a very handsome pebble-kidney 
in form (as shown in the Illustration), the result of a cross between Magnum Bonum and Myatt’s Prolific Ashleaf Kidney ; 
skin white and rough, with eyes level with the surface. The tubers are very equal in size. It is a splendid keeper, an enor- 
mous cropper, as the evidence given below shows, and the quality when cooked is superb, the flesh being very white and floury. 
Although there are hundreds of so-called new and improved Potatoes introduced to commerce each year, there are but 
few of them that come with honours out of the ordeal to which they are subjected by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
This fact alone stamps the superiority of Carters’ Surprise, and justifies us in recommending it with the greatest confidence. 
“ I have lifted 100 lbs. from 6 tubers of Carters' Surprise Potatoe quite free 
from disease. It is well worthy the name ‘Surprise.’” — Mr. A. T. OXFORD, 
Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY. 
“ Carters’ Surprise is a large and heavy-cropping Kidney of first-rate quality.” 
Mr. W. POPE, 
Head Gardener to The Right Hon. The Earl of CARNARVON.

When it is stated that “ King of the Russets ” is a decided advance upon the “ Reading Russet,” and that it will 
displace the latter in public favour, little else is necessary to recommend it and to secure its general adoption. As with 
Carters’ Surprise, Carters’ King of the Russets has come out of the Royal Horticultural Society s trials with the highest 
possible honours, and this fact renders it one of the Potatoes that should be grown by all who wish for the best sorts. 
As shown in the Illustration it is a round pale pink-skinned Potatoe, with a remarkably russety appearance, and described 
by a grower to whom a sample was sent for trial, as one of the finest-skinned Potatoes ever seen ; it is a prodigious cropper, 
keeps wonderfully well, and the quality is splendid, in all respects superior in table quality to either Reading Russet or 
Adirondack. The entire stock is in our hands for distribution. 
“ Carters’ New Potatoe, King of the Russets, is an immense cropper, and very 
..vary when cooked. ''-Mr. E. WILSON, Head Gardener to The Most 
Noble The Marquis of HARTINGTON. 
“ There is nothing about here to equal the crop of Carters' King of the Russets. 
I have lifted from the sample sent me (6 Tubers) 87 lbs. of the finest and 
brightest skinned Potatoes I have ever seen.” 
Mr. A. T. OXFORD, 
Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, 
floury when cooked.’

CARTERS’ FREEDOM. 
(See Coloured Illustration.) 
Awarded a First Class Certificate, Devizes Horticultural Society. 
This is essentially a desirable Exhibition Potatoe, very superior to Bountiful and all other purple Kidneys, being a 
stronger grower, a heavier cropper, and of fine table quality. The tubers are very even in form, and the eyes are level 
with the surface, whilst the colour is most distinct and attractive. 
It was awarded a First Class Certificate at the Devizes Chrysanthemum Show, the judges (including Mr. Richard Dean) 
speaking in the highest terms of its distinctive character and superior excellence when a cooked dish was placed before 
them. The entire stock of Carters’ Freedom is in our hands. 
“ Freedom is a very fine Red Kidney of good form and flavour, will make a good 
exhibition variety." — Mr. E. WILSON, Head Gardener to The Most Noble 
The Marquis of HARTINGTON. 
" The three sets of Freedom Potatoe lifted 19 lbs. of fine clean tubers. This is an 
excellent cooker.” 
Mr* A. T. OXFORD, 
Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY of ALDBRLBY. 
“ Freedom is a Red Kidney of excellent quality, rough skin and russety, a pretty 
e test of superior quality.”— Mr. W. POPE, Head Gardener to Tne Right 
>n. The Earl of CARNARVON.
